Finding Baby Gear For A Household With Limited Space

Back in 2005 right before the real estate market's bubble popped, Tommy and I bought a cute 2 bedroom/2 bath townhouse less than a mile from the beach. For a small family of three (four including J.D. our Yorkshire Terrier) it was absolutely perfect. Now as a family of four headed into six with J.D. aaaaaand Marlee the English Bulldog, our space is limited.

When I found out we were getting TWO babies at once I immediately went into OCD-mode and had to figure out how we were going to make this work. Although the babies are not here yet I have purchased some items that have eased some of my anxiety and I would recommend to those people in similar situations.

1. We already have two girls in one bedroom but to try and squeeze in two babies was just out of the question. Our master bedroom is oversized but with that said, two full sized cribs just wasn't feasible for us so I went out searching for acceptable sleeping gear for the girls.

I was pleasantly surprised when I tracked down this Graco Bassinet/Pack-n-Play in a new pattern called Rittenhouse. If this was going to be more than a temporary arrangement I needed a pattern that would compliment our bedroom and not rub in Tommy's face that he STILL didn't get his baby boy! Once the girls are both here and we have the both set up I'll post pics so you can see how easily the bassinets blended into our room.
